HISTORY:
There has been no recent zoning/subdivision activity on the
parcel in question although filling of the land has been occ ~urring
on an infrequent basis over the last two-three years.
TRANSPORTATION:
Sandy Lake Road is proposed to be a C4D/6, four-lane divided
thoroughfare in a six-lane right-of-way (110 feet). Today it is an
unimproved two-lane asphalt roadway.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- vacant floodplain; Carrollton zoning
South -vacant; PD-114 (SF-7)
East - vacant and scattered housing; Carrollton zoning and SF-12
West -landscape nursery; "R', Retail
Item # 6
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable
for residential and neighborhood retail (Sandy Lake
frontage).
DISCUSSION:
This proposal generally conforms to the guidelines outlined in the
Comprehensive Plan. The density of roughly 2.5 units per gross acre
fits the density pattern to the north and west of this tract, and is an
appropriate use at this location. Although the Plan also calls for
neighborhood retail in the vicinity of this proposal, the lack of
substantial frontage along Sandy Lake Road negates any retail being
developed upon this parcel. Of concern to staff is access to the property,
especially if flooding occurs. The single access point to Sandy Lake
Road is in the 100-year floodplain. The developer must prov. idea
roadway that is not in the floodplain. Any proposed modifications to
Sandy Lake Road will have to be approved by the Engineering
Department. From a health, safety and welfare perspective, the Fire
Department can not support single access into this residential
subdivision.
The erosive banks of Denton Creek may require erosion control along
the creek to be maintained by the Homeowners Association or the
property owners. No fill will be allowed in the floodplain until a flood
study is submitted and approved by FEMA.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Because of the concerns we have regarding the floodplain and the access
to this property, staff must recommend denial of this project at the
present time. When better access can/has been procured, and we have
assurance that the flooding concerns with Sandy Lake Road have been
adequately addressed, we would encourage a resubmittal. Until that
happens we must recommend denial of this application.

ITEM:
PD-175, Estates of Denton Creek, a zoning change request from "SF-12' to
"PD-SF-9", to allow the development of a 55 residential lot subdivision on
28.21 acres of property, located along the north side of Sandy Lake Road,

Due to the erosive banks of Denton Creek, erosion control may be required along Denton
Creek to be maintained by the Homeowners Association or the property owners.
The single access point to Sandy Lake Road is in the 100-year floodplain. Access to the
subdivision should be provided by a roadway which is not in the 100-year floodplain.
A drainage swale exists through the Northwest portion of the property which is shown on
the FEMA map to be in the 100-year floodplain. The location of this swale and/or
drainage improvements/system may affect the ability to develop the lots in thia area.
